Hop BroOmoromachi Station has a pretty great surprise right now: Yui Rail Beer Marche with AGARIHAMA BREWERY from Yonabaru.
MugiWhat? Craft beer inside a station? A free-entry event like that is way too tempting for my after-work self!
Hop BroExactly. It’s on July 23 and 24, from 3:00 to 8:00 PM, so it’s easy to swing by after work or shopping.
MugiWhoa, and AGARIHAMA BREWERY is the only brewery in Yonabaru? That already makes me curious!
Hop BroIt launched in 2023, and it even has a taproom on site where you can drink while looking at the brewing tanks.
MugiWhat does that even mean? Taproom on site sounds like secret beer wizard language to me!
Hop BroBasically, it means you can drink beer really close to where it’s brewed. With that freshness, how the aroma pops is totally different.
MugiOkay, now I need to know... if I go, should I start with SUNRISE PALE ALE?
Hop BroThat’s the smart move. It’s an award-winning pale ale with lemon-and-orange-like citrus notes and a clean bitterness, a real gold-medal pale ale.
MugiWait, and they also use Okinawan pineapple juice and sugarcane? That tropical fruit energy just came flying in!
Hop BroExactly, and that’s what makes it fun. Beyond the flagship, they’ve got beers that really show local ingredients, so you can find a glass of Okinawa in the lineup.
MugiI’m done for. My throat is thirsty just hearing this. Now I officially want a summer pint at Omoromachi Station!
Craft beer in a station concourse
The Yui Rail Beer Marche is being held at Omoromachi Station in Naha. It runs on July 23 and 24 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and the July 24 session continues until 8:00 p.m.. Because it takes place inside the station, it is designed as a convenient stop for people heading home from work or out shopping. Admission is free.
Among the exhibitors is AGARIHAMA BREWERY, a craft brewery based in Yonabaru Town in southern Okinawa. Founded in 2023, it is the town’s only craft brewery. The brewery also operates a taproom where guests can drink while looking out at the brewing tanks, making freshness a key part of its appeal.
One of its flagship beers is SUNRISE PALE ALE, which won gold in the American Pale Ale keg category at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2024. It is known for citrus aromas reminiscent of lemon and orange, along with a balanced bitterness that pairs well with food. The brewery also works with Okinawan ingredients such as pineapple juice and sugarcane, giving its lineup a strong local character.
Set in a station concourse and tied to a local brewery with a distinct identity, this market offers an accessible way to experience Okinawa’s craft beer culture in the middle of the city.
